I was in a place yesterday with a two rack HP 9000 and the guy was telling
me he gets $5k for them to ISPs (he says they upgrade to current systems
easily). Is he full or it or what?
BTW there must have been 5 pallets of Apollo 700's waiting to be scrapped,
all apparently from Sun in northern CAL.
Aviion setting waiting too.

Depends on what model of 9000 it is. If it's last year's high-end server,
$5K is a good price. If it's a ten year old machine, $50 is more like it,
and ISPs wouldn't touch it.

looks kinda beat up, the other just kinda dinged.. I"ll go by and get
specs (and prices, I think they're down to $25) tomorrow if anyone's
interested.
On that angle, Do any of the HP PA-RISC 9000-series machines qualify as
"classic" computers yet, and if so, anybody have something for sale
that will run HP-UX 10.20?

Sorry for taking so long in replying, busy weekend.

If you are interested in hppa, this is a must;
grab the large 980723\*.pdf files; they are the hardware
compatibility guides, but they also have os compatibility
somewhere. Note: large pdf files.

Hmm. Not quite classic yet, but because they hold sentimental value
(we used HP 9000 series 700 systems at the Cornell Program of Computer
Graphics) we'll let it slip this time.
I just picked up an HP Apollo 9000 model 715/50 on eBay for $60.
I figured it was an OK price to pay for such a machine, since I really
wanted to play around with one (older workstations seem to have become
my "thing" recently). You can find them on eBay all the time, many
many of them. Prices range from $50 to $300 depending on the model and
the conditions of other bidders. I seem to have gotten lucky on mine.
I haven't played with HP/UX since college (version 9.something, in
1994...) so I'm sure it'll be fun to re-aquaint myself.
Oh, and almost any series 700 will run 10.20, but that seems to be
the last version that will run on most of them.

The only concern I have is if they'll work in the HP Apollo 400 Series of
computers.
If the 400s use HP-HIL they'll work. That's the whole point of HP-HIL.

With a couple of caveats, yes.
On the 400 series, the system has a PROM setting which must be set using
the _current_ keyboard, which tells the system what sort of keyboard to
use. Heaven help you if you have the wrong flavour of keyboard on hand.
The HIL keyboard is only supported under HP/UX, and is required to run it.
The DOMAIN keyboard is only supported under DOMAIN/OS, and is required to
run it.
Otherwise, yeah. If it's got HIL it'll work.
